The sn console driver was snagged by the use of CONFIG_DEBUG_SHIRQ !
The request_irq() immediate call to the interrupt handler caused
another attempt to lock the port lock - deadlock.
This is a patch to fix that.

Usually, a mem_map is aligned on MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES boundaries and the
struct pages are always valid. However, this is not always the case when
CONFIG_HOLES_IN_ZONE is set.
move_freepages_block() checks that pages within a MAX_ORDER_NR_PAGES block
are in the same zone using page_zone(). However,

SysRq : Keyboard mode set to XLATE
The RESTORE_CONTEXT macro is missing the '\n' at the end. It was removed in the
previous patch that touched system.h. It causes compile failure if any
inline asm is added after the macro. Discovered this when playing with
kgdb.

hi all,
i just moved my win tv dvb-s card (PCI) from my old to my actual pc.
its an ASUS M2N32 WS Professional AMD64 X2 Board equiped with
the nvidia nForce 590 SLI MCP chipset.
in the past, i had to use the noapic kernel cmdline param to get linux
booting and working properly.
iirc versions

Mmm.. like others, I've now been bitten by what looks like
a SATA failure on resume from RAM, with 2.6.21-rc3.
I don't have enough info to blame this specific -rc* kernel,
as it has only done it once to me so far.
So, a datapoint, but not much of clue beyond that.
Unless it happens again.
Yes,

OK, fair enough, but I still think the patch description was
inadequate. In the -rt context, I would at least expect to see
Hi,
I just tryed linux-2.6.21-rc3 on my machine (P4HT 2.8GHz, with 512Mo)
with Tickless System (Dynamic Ticks) and High Resolution Timer Support
(.config in attachement)
The problem is that the kernel hang on boot. I tried different
configuration with nohz and highres on the kernel command line.

Prevent the WARN_ON() in arch/x86_64/kernel/acpi/sleep.c:init_low_mapping()
from triggering by disabling nonboot CPUs before we finally enter the platform
suspend.

Hi Dick,
Thanks for your response. In my ioctl in the kernel, I use
interruptible_sleep_on to sleep on a queue and will be wake up by the
the ISR routine when interrupt happens, so isn't
interruptible_sleep_on supposed to be interruptable, from its name? I
am using kernel 2.6.14.
Thanks again,

[ Andrew, this is definite 2.6.21 material ]
In my previous x86_64 thread fix, I forgot to initialize
thread.arch.fs in arch_prctl. A process calling arch_prctl to set %fs
would lose it on the next context switch.
It also turns out that you can switch to a process which is in the
process of
Suppose I want to create an atomic llseek+writev operation. Is this
more or less sufficient:

ret = -EINVAL;
} else {

Actually, it *can* be SMP-safe, if you do it right. Something like
len = dentry->d_name.len;
